You've barely eaten all day and now you're hungry? That's a puzzler...

And if you seriously think that eating will "destroy" you it sounds like you need a different kind of advice.

Yes, it has nothing to do with the time of day, only to do with the fact that your body is supposedly less efficient at burning calories while you sleep. I don't know if this is true, I've never paid much attention to it myself.

Are you 100% that the scale is to blame? Maybe your left foot is just being malicious! Kill the foot!

This is only suitable for CC's who are of age, but if you have doubts about guys liking curves you should probably check out the stats of the Playboy bunnies...

If you're under 18, here's a few examples:

Jamie Bradford

AGE:18
HAIR COLOR: Blonde
HEIGHT: 5ft 3in
WEIGHT: 120 lb
BREASTS: 34D
MEASUREMENTS: 34D-24-36

Crystal Carter

I won't say that these are the most beautiful women in the world because beauty is extremely subjective. But they sure do make a lot of money from the way that they look.

maybe ashleeyyy just means she wants to be curvier, doesnt necessarily mean she wants to be thinner or anorexic looking

 Actually that's a fair point, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions - it was wrong to assume that "awful" meant "fat" when people can be unhappy with their body shape for all sorts of reasons. But in another post she said she was trying to lose weight by "Excercising obsessively and low calorie intake" so unfortunately the conclusions I jumped to were accurate.

There's no mystery to how I got the 1800-1900 cals.  You could check out this link, for example....  Health Calculator  

 I tried using that calculator and it told me to eat 1360 calories per day. And I'm not trying to lose weight.  Does it interpret "sedentary" as meaning "in coma"? And if so, how do they think someone in a coma would be able to use the internet?

I can’t believe it got deleted – jess_sun could you let us know when you have had a reply from the moderators?

I completely agree with pearsnapples, as I think it was probably us they were referring to (as I think we were both aiming for 98lbs). It annoys me that people do not take into consideration other peoples build and shape, and become completely judgemental over the numbers involved – which give no true idea of whether or not the weight mentioned is healthy or not for the person involved. I for one tend to carry most of my weight around my middle, which as I’m sure you are all aware is unhealthy. My aim is to reduce this, and at a weight of 98lbs, or thereabouts, I do not look underweight (as I weighed that once before) I look much healthier than I do at the moment. I have a small frame, am not very tall, and contrary to what others might think, it is a healthy and sustainable weight for me. For other people to have the myopic view that this is somehow pro-anorexic behaviour shocks me, and I think undermines everything that this website is meant to stand for – the posting guidelines state that CC is to promote “healthy” weights, then maybe we should become less concerned about the numbers, and be a little slower to judge people and use the words “pro-anorexia”, and take more time to learn about the individuals involved.

I am well aware this post will probably get deleted, as it contains a fully expressed opinion; however I urge the moderators to be a little more tolerant and not be so quick to put an end to valid discussions and support systems.

 

When doctors say that carrying weight around your middle is unhealthy,I'm fairly sure they're referring to people who weigh 200lbs and carry most of it in their midsection. It's equally unhealthy to have absolutely zero fat on your stomach.

As for saying that you didn't "look" underweight at 98lbs ... whose judgment is that? Because a) if it's your own judgment, then you're probably a little biased and b) being underweight isn't something that you can tell just by looking at someone, particularly in our current culture where we're so used to seeing underweight celebs that underweight has become the visual norm.

On more thing for your consideration. Many of the people who come to CC are recovering from ED's and looking for a way to gain weight healthily. If those people come on here and see a post saying "I weigh 110 I'm so fat and unhealthy I need to lose weight," how do you think they're going to react? If you insist that you are in no way harming your own health, at least try to think of how you might be impacting the health of others.

This one kind of helps... if I'm just going out to the library or to hang out a friend's place or do something else where I know I won't need money then I leave my cash and debit card in my room. That means that there's no way I can fall victim to the temptation to buy high-calorie snack foods or pop in at Starbucks for one of their 5 million calorie bakery items.

Similarly if I'm going shopping for food I plan what I'm going to get beforehand and only take enough cash to buy that.

Thanks for all your advice guys! I never used to like fizzy water but I might start drinking it now.

No sweeteners yet today. Yesterday I completely OD-ed: sugar-free gum, diet Dr Pepper, big mugs of tea with sugar twin ... it was tragic. So by 9pm I was crippled by the most immense sugar cravings imaginable. I practically had to tie myself to my bed to stop myself from going out and buying a monster pack of Frosties and eating them all. Thank fully they've subsided now and I'm already starting to feel better without all those chemicals clogging up my system.

I tink that to be successful, though...I need to do it for myself and not for anybody else.

 Yeah but it doesn't hurt to have a manshape on the horizon to keep you motivated.

I am currently maintaining so I just think about how good I feel right now and that motivates me to try and keep it this way.

I remember this thread ... there was one member trying to get down to an extremely unhealthy BMI in order to "look good" and the rest of the members were encouraging her. That essentially amounts to a pro-anorexic thread which is probably why it was deleted.

When I was at school, particularly in my last few years of secondary school, lunch was a chocolate bar and a packet of crisps, maybe a packet of sweets as well. If I felt like a hot lunch then I'd get a burger or chips. I don't think I ever ate anything even resembling a fruit or vegetable.

As far as I can recall, about 80-90% of the stuff they had on sale in the cafeteria was junk. There was this little sad bowl of fruit that everyone ignored and there was usually some form of processed vegatable along with the hot meal, but there was also chips and pizza and mountains of high-sugar/high-fat junk food. There was a vending machine full of this crap in the sixth form common room, placed right by the door so that every time you went in you would have to walk right by it. There was also a kebab van full of greasy food, not-very-hygienic parked right outside the school where most of the older kids would go for a hot lunch.

I remember watching Supersize Me and seeing that the situation is much the same, if not worse, in American schools. I don't know if schools get more money by selling Mars Bars and Cheetos than they would by buying decent produce from local suppliers but if they do then it's all the more horrific because they're making money by selling the health of kids too young to know any better.

And then when schools try to advise parents on what to putin their kids' lunchboxes you get the accusations of "nanny state". Well maybe if parents started acting responsibly instead of acting like kids then we wouldn't need a nanny state.

LOL Diet Red Bull is like Diet Irn Bru ... it's so disgusting that occasionally me and my friends will drink a can just to show hardcore we are.

Heh as a woman I've been battling that similar bulge forever. There's no way to spot-reduce but I've found this website to be particularly helpful.

And for what it's worth, every guy I've ever dated has had that little bulge and I personally love it and think it's very sexy. LOL if I ever dated a guy who didn't have ANY fat rolls when he sat down I'd probably be disturbed by it ... it would make me want to continually run to the gym.
